Where are the VCB installation files?

I am using the evaluation version of VI35. I have ESX running and configured. I want to test the VCB component. I cannot find how to install it. There are no "setup.exe" files on the disk image I downloaded. I cannot download the vcb from vmware's website because I guess I've already downloaded the VI35 trial. But I thought that VCB was supposed to be included in VI3.

Any help would be appreciated.

It's included with virtual center 2.5. Install 2.5 and chose custom, you will see an option to add VCB.

Ah, which leads to another question: When I try to install VC from the ESX web interface, it takes me to the vmware website, which will not allow me to download it for some reason. Any suggestions?

I am not aware of the ability to install VCMS through the web interface on the host. You can download the client, but the install of VC is a seperate installer that needs to be downloaded.
